Use Firefox 4 now! ;)

Fast browser also need fast Internet speed. Otherwise no use
 
So far so good. Browse had been FAST.:) Try it!
I repeat again. Google Chrome is fast while Firefox 4 is still not stable yet. It's a joke when they offered you an option on their home page to "Restore Previous Version". :eek:

 
Firefox 4 has a long way to go in terms of broswer speed la. Chrome is by far the fastest. The only downside is that it allows google to 'push' any form of updates to the browser to you whether you like it or not.
 
nonsense! i have been using firefox for years,chrome is my backup although it lack security essentials.

That is part of the factors for sure. I see lots of poor users still using very slow IE.:( That way there is no point to pay for high speed broadband.:D Go back to villages to ride buffaloes!:eek:
 
Use Google Chrome. :eek:

That is OK, but it's controls are poor and speed not as fast. I have that installed but only used for rare purposes. One frequently needed control is to flush all cookies and histories. Firefox 3.6.x come out one extra dialogue to clarify what you want to flush every time, I prefer the older style - one button flush - no question. Chrome & Opera have similarities in their looks, I refer to their speed-dialler page, that kept appearing when you opened up a new tab.

For feature, I still prefer that some extension be made to allow different instances of browsers be opened - Maintaining DIFFERENT set of cookies & history & session IDs. This is still lack in most browsers (unless there is an extension that I have yet found). :p The good purpose is to enable users to simultaneously login to multiple Google Identities for example if you have a work Gmail A/C and another personal Gmail A/C, you would like to have different instances of same browser (e.g. Firefox) logged into each different mail A/Cs to avoid repeatedly login and logout - many times each day.:)

Many companies and organisations uses Google Apps & Gmail already, if you had one personal Gmail, one Business Gmail, and a NGO Gmail, it would be sweet to be able to open 3 instances of Firefox, each on a different A/C. If you were IT / web admin person responsible for 10-15 domains using Google Apps & Gmail, your need to simultaneously be inside more than one domain will become even more important to save time.:rolleyes::cool:

I also have Chrome, but I never felt it to be faster than Firefox.

I never import my bookmarks into it, and I felt it lack the Menus like Firefox, a little bit awkward to operate thus.
:)
 

If you need to be reminded by dialog boxes, it can be found under options. :D I am a power user and at anytime i have 30> tabs opened. Firefox consumes high memory. That will slow down my work. In Firefox 3.6.4 and later versions it is slow because of a plug-in container required (to support various flash games and video) and prevent it's browser from crashing. It can be removed using about:config but again it will crash and amazingly plug-in container restores itself. :eek:

I presumed you tried using Firefox 4? It's still on trial and needs users feedbacks. Version 4 tab is another flop. :D

There are multiple instead of just a single aspect of browsers speed, always confusing to discuss if not clearly differentiated.


  1. Page elements aspects, a HTML page with many images; script files; style sheets; flash; other media.. A browser will be fast if it can simultaneously fetch many of these elements when a page is opened. These elements are not huge items usually (less huge flash video like youtube.com) but there are many of them on a page.
  2. Script aspect, executing the scripts in the page fast / slow.
  3. Downloading aspect, e.g. when you download a huge file HTTP or FTP e.g. a 3GB .zip file or email attachments
  4. Embedded Object aspect, Java JVM; Adobe Flash; Adobe PDF doc; Torrents; Music; embedded HTML editor etc
  5. Layout aspect, rendering the browsers' display, Firefox is much faster than IE & Opera in this aspect, it fetched the photos etc faster than style sheet some times, and it displayed them already before style sheet is completely arrived, then once style sheet is in, you suddenly see the images & other elements of a page shifts and moved into their positions & sizes specified in style sheet. Some slow browsers shows a blank page when style sheet is not there - I guess it does not know where to place these items so it just wait. Firefox shows you photos 1st even when it does not know where they should eventually go, when it knows where to place them, it moves the photos as it re-do the layout.
When I uploaded that photobucket.com image of chrome browser I posted in this thread, I refreshed twice and photobucket.com's home page style sheet never arrived and showed me a massed up page. So I refused to login and closed chrome browser. I login via Firefox immediately OK, and I uploaded what I just captured from my chrome browser window - showing sammyboy.com

OMG! you are one of those people that kept so many tabs opened!

When I work with one friend he is one of your gang, his habit is kept opening new tabs and NEVER want to close them. Eventually he is confused by the many tabs and have repetition of multiple outdated pages opened from the same site. Imagine expired sessions, & login to same site using different IDs - while your very old pages are still there in one of the many tabs. He confused me also, when he switch through his tabs and show me this and that, I can not relate his information, weather which tab is fresh which tab is outdated craps. :(

I prefer no extra dialogue, just give me one button to flush ALL caches & cookies, no extra questions!

Firefox 4 I think is now no longer on trial, the URL I posted is main firefox.com page, it downloads Firefox 4.

I did not however get my firefox 4 from there. My installation came within new SuSE Linux 11.4 as the default.

But I am using multi-boot Linux, 11.4 is just one of my new installations, it use latest kernel 2.6.37.x, a bit trouble because suse this time ran ahead of others, so e.g. vmware modules need patches to compile, which is a hassle normally not required.

At this moment as I am typing, I am booted up in Kubuntu and firefox 3.6.15 is what I am using right now.

I tried out both Firefox and IE9. Without any tests, it seems like IE9 is faster.

You may be the only user here to think so.:rolleyes:

Windows 7 itself is already crap (all windows are) not to say it's browsers. If your firefox felt slow inside it is mostly because of MS windows itself. Use Linux or Mac!

Nobody talks cock the way you do.:oIo:
 
Just something to think about

Results from the latest Pwn2Own, the biggest hacking competition in recent years, its so big that all major players patch their system before the competition starts. For those not familiar with the competition, they have a couple of category setup e.g. Mac OS + Safari or Win 7 + IE8 and whoever is the first to hack into their respective category wins.

1)For the 4th or 5th year running, Mac OS + Safari combo holds the unwanted title of being hacked into the fastest. It lasted only 5s. Apple release tons of patches just before the competition however they didn't use the patch version coz the patch came in after the cut off date. In which case it doesn't matter coz according to the hackers, all the patches released by Apple just before the competition did not managed to address the exploit that they use. Apple immediately responded that they will patch their system, again

2)Windows and IE8 also fell later in the day. However the exploit used to hack into IE8 is already patched in IE9 which was not tested in the competition, IE8 will be patched in the next patch iteration

3)On the handphone side, IPhone + Mobile Safari also got hacked as well as Blackberry + Blackberry Browser

4)Firefox was not hacked. Hacker claimed the exploit he found was not very stable so he did not made the attempt

5)Chrome also not hacked. Something to note, Google hired a team of hackers to help look for exploits along with its own team and patch up everything just before the competition

So what does this tells us, avoid Safari at all cost!!!!

If you meant tabs opened for sammyboy, only two at most (when posting news or spying on a troll / asshole) :D

Your friend is a noob so don't compare him with me. :D
